Remote Control Functions

IMPORTANT NOTE: The AVR45’s remote may be programmed to con- trol up to eight devices, including the AVR45. Before using the remote, it is important to remember to press the Device Control Selector button a b that corresponds to the unit you wish to operate. In addition, the AVR45’s remote is shipped from the factory to operate the AVR45 and Harman Kardon CD players and cassette decks. The remote is also capable of operating a wide variety of other products using the control codes that are part of the remote. Before using the remote with other products, follow the instruc- tions on pages 28–29 to program the proper codes for the products in your system.

It is also important to remember that many of the buttons on the remote take on different functions, depend- ing on the product selected using the Device Control Selectors. The descriptions shown here primarily detail the functions of the remote when it is used to operate the AVR45. (See pages 28–31 for infor- mation about alternate functions for the remote’s buttons.)

aAVR Selector: Press this button to use the remote control for operation of the AVR45. Note that the button will briefly turn red after it has been pressed to confirm your selection.

bDevice Control Selectors: Press one of these buttons to use the remote to control the functions of another audio/video device. Note that the button will briefly turn red after it has been pressed to confirm your selection. (See pages 28–29 for information on programming the AVR45’s remote to operate these devices.)

cPower Button: Press this button to turn the currently selected device on or off.

dMute: Press this button to momentarily silence the AVR45 or TV set being controlled, depending on which device has been selected.

When the AVR45 remote is being pro- grammed to operate another device, this button is pressed with the Device Control Selector button b to begin the programming process. (See page 28 for more information on programming the remote.)

eTest: Press this button to begin the sequence used to calibrate the AVR45’s output levels. (See page 19 for more information on calibrating the AVR45.)

fDisplay/Multiroom Button: This button does not function with the AVR45, but it is available for use with other devices.

gÚ/ Û Buttons: These are multi- purpose buttons. They will be used most frequently to select a surround mode. To change the surround mode, first press the SURR/CHÛ button y. Next press these buttons to scroll up or down through the list of surround modes that appear in the Information Display 33. (See page 24 for more information.) These buttons are also used to increase or decrease output levels used to lower the AVR45’s output levels when configuring the unit with either the internal test tone or and external source. (See pages 19 and 26 for more information.) They are also used to enter delay time settings after the Delay button v has been pressed. (See page 20 for more information.)

h Ü/Channel Button: This button is used to start the process of setting the AVR45’s output levels to an external source. Once this button is pressed, use the Ú/ Û buttons g to select the channel being adjusted, then press the Set button i, fol- lowed by the Ú/ Û buttons again to change the level letting. (See page 27 for more information.)

iSet Button: This button is used to enter settings into the AVR45’s memory. It is also used in the setup procedures for delay time, speaker configuration and channel output level adjustment. (See pages 17–21 for complete information.)

jNight Mode: Press this button to activate the “Night” mode, pre- venting loud playback when the digital modes are in use without altering the dynamic range of the output signal.

When the AVR45 remote is being pro- grammed to operate other devices, this button is pressed to begin a readout of a programmed code. (See page 28 for more information.)

kSource Selectors: Press these buttons to select an input source for the AVR45. The AM/FM button is also used to switch between frequency bands when the tuner is in use.

NOTE: Pressing one of these buttons selects the source only. In order to control the actual source machine using the remote you must press the Device Control Selector button b for the desired product.

lNumeric Keys: These buttons serve as a ten-button numeric key- pad to enter tuner preset positions. They are also to be used to select channel numbers when TV has been selected on the remote, or to select track numbers on a CD, DVD or LD player, depending on how the remote has been programmed.

NOTE: The 0 button has a dual func- tion. It also serves as the CLEAR button for use in programming the tuner or clearing the system memory.

mDirect /Enter: Press this button to select a radio station by entering its frequency using the Numeric Keys l. (See page 26 for more information.)
